Happy moment.

Need some of these right now. Been a little depressed. Worried about Aiden's heart my grandpa also isn't doing well at the moment (in heart failure). Lots on my mind, more then I want to get into.

Happy Birthday Connor!

I can't believe it my Connor is 4 years old today! Where did the time go??? Seriously where did it go? On Sunday we had a party for him. he wanted a dinosaur party completes with dinosaur decorations, cake and balloons. Now I love getting the big helium balloons for his birthday this year couldn't. There is a helium shortage and they were not filling big balloons.  I love this kid so much! Even more now with Aiden he is such a great big brother! He loves to be a show off and Aiden seems to be his biggest audience :).

Cake made by grandma

I hate his cardio appointments!

We had a birthday party for Connor, I plan on posting pictures of it on his birthday so stay tuned for Wednesday!

Preview to future post

OK today I took Aiden to see the cardiologist and let me just say I was worried about it on edge. the whole bit and my feelings turned out to have some baring to them. Got there and waited until they had a room and was taken back. They first took his blood pressure. Took some time for them to get it because he did not want to stay still. I basically had to hold his leg so they could get a reading. After that they checked his height... they didn't tell me what it was and then weight. They said he weighed 11 pounds 15.9 ounces... why they can't just round that to 12 is silly! Guess they know I want him to hit that so lets have him be just barely under it, like if he drank two more swallows of milk he would've registered as 12.

Eye exam

OK I took Aiden in on Wednesday to have his eyes checked. Admittingly I was wondering how do they check the eyes of a 5 month old???? Well I found out. We were taken into a room that looked  like a regular eye exam room except for one big addition. On the opposite side of the exam chair was a TV and a mechanical chicken.  Yes that's right a  mechanical chicken.

Was I curious about the chicken? Of course! Did I ask about it? No figured I'd see what it was for! So anyways they first pulled out a bunch of long grey cards. On one side it was blank, the other had a black and white stripped square on one side. The boxes ranged in sizes. basically a card was held up and he would look towards it, usually with no problem at all. only times he didn't look was becasue something else had his interest.

The forgetful Mommy

What per say am I forgetful about? That Aiden is 5 months old! he is just so darn little that yes I forget it but he certainly reminds me of it by not acting like the 2-3 month old that he slightly resembles. today is a very good example of this. I was sitting at my desk Aiden in my lap (I was pumping oh joy) and Aiden started to get upset. I couldn't get up yet so ignored him at first that was until he started kicking is legs yelling and then started crying/ screaming. Yup 5 month old had a tantrum caught me off guard!

So when I finally got up he stopped crying! And when I headed to Connor's room were Connor was playing he started to smile and once in the room and he saw Connor started to make his happy noises! Yes I need to stop seeing him as a newborn and instead as a baby his wants are starting to show! I am glad he wanted his brother I truly hope there relationship stays like this it'll make me a very happy momma! Now i do hope he is a little more mellow then Connor but he will be what he will be!

Now and then

I pulled out another box of clothes that used to be Connor's Aiden is finally starting to fit on 3-6 month old clothes! Funny but it felt like Christmas in August! It was nice seeing different clothes that I could put Aiden in and some clothes that I do remember Connor being in. In fact one I remembered I had a photo of Connor in them so couldn't help it put Aiden in it to take a picture and then compare pictures. Just have to say and yes I am biased! My boys are so cute!

 For some reason my camera decided to make Aiden's picture look a little bluish in ton oh well. So there's my boys and I can say one they they have the same nose!
